All-Star Awakening is a card-battle RPG officially licensed by SNK, featuring beloved characters from franchises like The King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown, and Metal Slug. The game’s story is set in the world of The King of Fighters, making it especially appealing to longtime SNK fans.

In this game, you can build a powerful team with iconic fighters like Iori Yagami, Kyo Kusanagi, Mai Shiranui, Ukyo Tachibana, Nakoruru, and more than 50 others. It’s great that the game allows all your fighters to reach their full potential with a fair progression system, ensuring balanced development and no lost progress.

Players can engage in 1v1 battles and explore interactive zones

I was really impressed by how the game recreates the excitement of classic arcade fighting games with its one-on-one battles. It lets you unleash strong attacks, fast combos, and spectacular special moves, just like the old-school fighting games we all loved.

The game promises fluid action and impressive special moves, and I’m excited to try them out. Overall, it looks really enjoyable, particularly after playing The King of Fighters AFK. It’s built using the Unity engine and features a detailed 3D city with familiar locations that you can actually fight in.

The mobile game All-Star Awakening is coming to iOS devices in China later this year, and pre-registration is now available on the App Store.
